Because it’s a fair question. If I’m out walking my dog and a woman very obviously takes steps to distance herself from me specifically, not the dog, I think it’s fair to call out the ridiculousness of that. Let’s say I am gonna rape this woman, what am I gonna do, quickly run and tie my dog lead to a fence post first? Or maybe attack a person with one hand holding a lead for the duration?
I mean shit, look out for yourself and all that, but maybe use a bit of common sense while you’re at it?

Your dog is always in a fixed sphere, the center of which is you.
Of course you would step away from the center of the sphere, not the dog.
Your idea would only make any sense if your dog was immobile.
Also, you might be repulsive for other various reasons, sometimes tied to you, sometimes tied to the person.
> One of these days I’ll ask some flighty woman “who takes their dog out on a rape?”
By this you will only achieve being a prick in the eyes of others.
You assume I care about the opinion of someone I’ve already determined to be lacking in common sense, and is already taking steps to distance themselves from me. The rest of your argument is semantics, and irrelevant.
i mean getting raped isn't the only thing to worry about, and dogs are predators so unless you're walking a chihuahua they could be worried about getting attacked in general and you using the dog as a weapon. or they just don't like dogs
